    In other news, it appears the DR and TT master cylinders are the same size so I'd just be gaining the mirror mount and losing the adjustable lever...

    Buuuut...
    Once I get a braided line on there (should arrive tomorrow) it'll feel similar to the DR one, with the same lever, pull and mirror.

    Also got some more shims for the Intiminators today.
    Added a 0.010" per leg to get 0.015, 0.012, 0.010

    Lots less brake dive but still supple over the rocks.

    I like...

    Fishing it out...


    Hooked!


    Some bits...


    Back together...


    Took it up the Maungatapu and it went well over the jumps and also over the rocks by the riverbed.

    Put the braided line on yesterday...

    I looked and thought I needed straight banjos

    Oh well. I'll swap the top banjo with the DR one which can get away with being straight.

    The bonus of all this is that I get to re-bleed 2 sets of lines

    Can't face plant at our speeds.

    Gorse in the face is the bigger worry.

    They make a pulpy mess on a leather jacket too. They taste like fuzzy chicken.

    It's amazing the speeds they fly at. One hit me the other day- I reckon it must have been travelling at about 90KPH - nearly knocked me out.
